Chapter 7

This Cautious Void Sect really didn't disappoint Li Zhangsheng!

……

Li Zhangsheng arrived at the Hall of Longevity and saw a young man in fine brocade robes sitting cross-legged on a chair he had brought himself, his gaze as if looking down on all heroes.

Behind the youth stood five Supreme Saint realm experts, one of whom was at the peak of Supreme Saint realm!

Wha!!

With such a display, this arrogant attitude—those who don't know might think this is his home!

Even more imposing than the people from the previous Flaming Heaven Sect!!

Just as before, Li Zhangsheng sat upright on the throne of the Sect Master of Longevity Gate!!

Xiao Jue and Luo Qingxue stood respectively to his left and right!

After everyone had arrived, the young man in fine brocade robes gave a contemptuous, world-weary glance at the Longevity Gate crowd, then his gaze settled on Li Zhangsheng seated in the place of honor!

Huh!

The young man in fine brocade robes seemed somewhat doubtful!

He naturally knew that only the Sect Master could sit in that seat.

That handsome youth in white robes must be the newly appointed Sect Master that Longevity Gate has put forward!

However, he could not sense even a trace of aura from this white-robed youth!

Moreover, who is this extraordinarily handsome youth in white robes?

How come I've never heard before that Longevity Gate had such a figure?

He must be a Sect Master secretly cultivated by Longevity Gate.

After the soul of Emperor Yang Xuanji dissipated, this white-robed youth being able to sit as Sect Master must have some extraordinary ability.

So handsome and young—who knows how he maintains himself?

After a moment of silent speculation, the young man in fine brocade robes didn't pay it much mind.

The soul of Emperor Yang Xuanji has completely dissipated; Longevity Gate is nothing to fear now!!

He glanced at Luo Qingxue, whose expression was icy cold on Li Zhangsheng's right, gave a sly smile, remained seated in his chair without standing, and spoke to Li Zhangsheng somewhat arrogantly:

"I suppose this must be the new Sect Master of Longevity Gate, Qin Shou, junior Sect Master of the Shenxu Sect, pays his respects to the Sect Master!"

"I heard that the Emperor Realm Yang Xuanji of your sect has had his soul dissipate; our Elder Ancestor feels deep sorrow and has specially sent us juniors to offer condolences to your sect!"

Speaking, Qin Shou shook his head and added with a hint of teasing: "As for the mighty reputation of Emperor Realm Yang Xuanji throughout the ages, who would have thought he'd end up in such a dim and ignoble demise—truly regrettable; please, everyone, accept our condolences!"

The Longevity Gate crowd said nothing, silently watching Qin Shou's performance!

Because they saw two words on Qin Shou's face: 'courting death'!

Li Zhangsheng narrowed his eyes to size up Qin Shou, eh… this guy loves to show off!

Right off the bat he acted like a carefree playboy.

How infuriatingly deserving of a beating!

I originally wanted to ask what they were here for, but now… forget it, let's kill them first and talk later!

"Of course, your sect's strength has greatly diminished now; we are…" At this point, Qin Shou still wore an arrogant expression as he was about to continue speaking.

Who would have thought…

Only saw Li Zhangsheng calmly say: "Bold, seeing this Sect Master and not kneeling—you already have a death sentence!!"

Saying that, Li Zhangsheng's eyes narrowed slightly!

Hearing that, Qin Shou's brow furrowed slightly, and then… his consciousness was severed!

Boom!

Qin Shou below was instantly reduced to ashes!

Because Qin Shou's realm was too low, Li Zhangsheng's glare alone didn't even produce a blood mist—he vanished outright from the spot!

Even the chair he was sitting on dissipated along with him!

"Ah!"

The Longevity Gate crowd covered their faces and sighed softly, 'This guy—living isn't good enough, he insists on courting death.'

Well, that's settled—no corpse left behind!!

"Junior Sect Master?!"

The five Supreme Saint realm experts who had followed Qin Shou saw him suddenly vanish into thin air, their expressions changing abruptly.

"Damn it, where did you take our junior Sect Master?!"

One of them shouted angrily.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

Immediately, the five released all their aura, a terrifying Supreme Saint pressure sweeping out from them.

How dare they lay hands on their junior Sect Master—Longevity Gate has gall!

All five of them are Supreme Saint realm experts; this lineup was clearly meant to stir up trouble, while Longevity Gate now only has three Supreme Saint experts to maintain its facade!

Who is stronger and who is weaker will be decided at once!

Just as their aura pressure was about to ripple onto the Longevity Gate disciples!

Li Zhangsheng's gaze lightly shifted onto them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four Supreme Saint realm experts exploded on the spot, turning into blood mist!

Only a middle-aged looking man remained!

"This…" the middle-aged looking man had just been about to act.

However, when he saw his four teammates instantly turn into blood mist, leaving only him, he was instantly dazed!

What happened?

No, don't sell me out!

Swish!

Just as that middle-aged man was dazed, Li Zhangsheng flashed and appeared before him.

Wah!

The middle-aged man felt as if a great mountain pressed down on him, forcing him to kneel involuntarily, his five viscera seeming to be crushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Li Zhangsheng also compressed his power a bit further.

Only then did the middle-aged man recover from the suffocating sensation, his whole body trembling as he looked at Li Zhangsheng with terror.

The power he unintentionally emitted already far surpassed that of a Quasi-Emperor!

Emperor Realm!

Those two words popped into the middle-aged man's mind!

The Changsheng Sect has actually produced another Emperor Realm cultivator?!

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked down at him and said, "I ask, you answer, and I'll spare your life!"

Li Zhangsheng kept him alive naturally to ask what they were here for this time!

"Yes... yes!" the middle-aged man stammered, having no other thoughts.

There was no way; facing such a terrifying figure, he couldn't dare to harbor the slightest rebellious thought!!

Besides, he was also afraid of being blown into a mist of blood!

"What are you doing at the Changsheng Sect?" Li Zhangsheng asked coldly.

"Following the Young Sect Master to form a marriage alliance!" the middle-aged man replied honestly.

"A marriage alliance—who with whom?" Li Zhangsheng frowned slightly.

The middle-aged man looked at Luo Qingxue, who had come behind Li Zhangsheng, and said, "Our Young Sect Master and your sect's Saintess!"

The Saintess of the Changsheng Sect is naturally Luo Qingxue!

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxue frowned slightly.

At that moment, Xiao Jue glanced at Luo Qingxue, then came up to Li Zhangsheng's ear and whispered a few words.

It turned out that Luo Qingxue once went out with Xiao Jue, encountered Qin Shou, and Qin Shou was stunned by Luo Qingxue's beauty!

Ever since then, Qin Shou has been unable to forget Luo Qingxue!

In other words, he's lust‑crazed and constantly scheming to do something improper!

It seems he brought people to the Changsheng Sect this time, intending to exploit the situation after Yang Xuanji's emperor soul vanished to force the Changsheng Sect and Shenxu Sect into a marriage alliance, thereby achieving his evil goal!

"Hmph, a toad wanting to eat swan meat—just let him die; that's letting him off easy."

Li Zhangsheng snorted in disdain, then narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man and said, "Is it really just that simple to come for a marriage alliance?"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't believe that a Quasi-Emperor-level sect's Young Sect Master would come for a marriage alliance without any other motive.

"No." The middle-aged man swallowed, then continued: "Our Sect Master sent us here on the one hand to form a marriage alliance and draw your Changsheng Sect's attention, and on the other hand dispatched people to secretly seize your Changsheng Sect's three spirit veins to the west."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the Changsheng Sect changed!

Spirit veins are a sect's primary source of resources!

And those three spirit veins to the west of the Changsheng Sect are all medium‑sized, top‑grade spirit veins.

Half of the Changsheng Sect's spirit stone supply comes from those three top‑grade spirit veins to the west!

If those three spirit veins were lost, it would be tantamount to striking at the very foundation of the Changsheng Sect's resources!

"I knew he wasn't holding back a good fart!" Li Zhangsheng snorted coldly, waved his hand casually, and the middle-aged man's body and spirit were annihilated!

As for sparing his life… heh, when dealing with enemies, who bothers to keep their promises to you?

"Sect Master, the elders and disciples guarding the three spirit veins to the west have all lost contact." At that moment, Grand Elder Shen Qingcang walked over to Li Zhangsheng with a solemn expression and said anxiously.

Within the sect there are communication talismans used to keep in touch with disciples and elders on outside missions!

The communication talismans of the disciples and elders guarding the three spirit veins have lost contact, indicating that those elders and disciples have likely met with misfortune!

The three spirit veins have already fallen into enemy hands!!

Li Zhangsheng's expression remained calm as he looked at Shen Qingcang, Xiao Jue, and Luo Qingxue and said, "Let's go—you three take me to have a look!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The three replied in unison.

Immediately afterward, the four walked out of the Changsheng Hall!
